Thy mighty love, O God, constraineth me

Thy mighty love, O God, constraineth me, As some strong tide it presseth on its way, Seeking a channel in my self-bound soul, Yearning to sweep all barriers away. |

Shall I not yield to that constraining power? Shall I not say, O tide of love, flow in? My God, Thy gentleness hath conquered me, Life cannot be as it hath hither been. |

Break through my nature, mighty, heavenly love, Clear every avenue of thought and brain, Flood my affections, purify my will, Let nothing but Thine own pure life remain. |

Thus wholly mastered and possessed by God, Forth from my life, spontaneous and free, Shall flow a stream of tenderness and grace, Loving, because God loved, eternally. |

That's the song I always sing while I'm at the church life but I am seeking the song of "Attracted by Your love Lord..."

"Thy mighty love, O God, contraineth me."
This is my prayer for the rest of my life; Lord, don't let me go. Constrain my whole being with Yourself. I love my master and I will not go out free. Give me the willingness to be trained and equipped, to hold a feast unto You to serve You. Lord my future is for You. Lord don't let me go!
California, United States
Break through my nature mighty heavenly love
Clear every avenue of thought and brain
Flood my affections purify my will
Let nothing but thine own pure life remain
Amen.
